Tales From The Highway: A Collection Of Urban Fantasy Short Stories

The ghost of a small town that got too big for itself. A Vietnam Veteran folk shaman. A man who walked away from the things he could see, but could never outrun them. A professional exorcist. A fairy princess forced to give up the children she saved from a cruel, mundane world. A trucker who never lies, but is never believed. Inspired by years of "having adventures" while traveling along the California highway system as a child, "Tales From The Highway" couples the authors love of storytelling with his inherited affection for wandering through the half-remembered, liminal spaces that make up the small towns, rest stops, and crossroads of the Golden State's many valleys and hills. In this collection of short stories, Mr. Milligan's first solo venture, the reader is encouraged to come along into the world that sits just on the other side of an old fence, out beyond the road. There, hiding away in plain sight, lies a world of magic and wonder - sometimes sad, frequently dangerous, and never what it seems. Fans of Mr. Milligan's work in the small-press RPG space will certainly recognize his world-building, and his attention to the human details of his characters, while newcomers will meet new friends who seem perhaps just a bit too familiar.
